990-1000 / 1000+ resultsresearch The in vitro Assembly of Hair Follicle Keratins: Comparison of Cortex and Companion Layer Keratins
Different conditions affect how hair proteins assemble, and certain mutations can change their structure.
research Expression of keratins K6 and K16 in regenerating mouse epidermis is less restricted by cell replication than the expression of K1 and K10.
Keratins K6 and K16 are expressed more freely in regenerating mouse skin than K1 and K10.
research Keratins: Dynamic, flexible structural proteins of epithelial cells
Keratin proteins in epithelial cells are dynamic and crucial for cell processes and disease understanding.
research Homo- and heteropolymer self-assembly of recombinant trichocytic keratins
Recombinant keratins can form useful structures for medical applications, overcoming natural keratin limitations.
research Three-dimensional modelling of interchain sequence similarities and differences in the coiled-coil segments of keratin intermediate filament heterodimers highlight features important in assembly
Keratin heterodimers are preferred for their specific and structural advantages.
research Immunolocalization of junctional proteins in human hairs indicates that the membrane complex stabilizes the inner root sheath while desmosomes contact the companion layer through specific keratins
Junctional proteins stabilize the inner root sheath and connect the companion layer in human hair.
research <i>In vitro</i> Assembly Properties of Human Type I and II Hair Keratins
Different combinations of human hair keratins affect how hair fibers form.
research Self-consistent field theory for the interactions between keratin intermediate filaments
Keratin filaments' elasticity is influenced by their terminal domains and surrounding medium.
research Identification of the C-terminal tail domain of AHF/trichohyalin as the critical site for modulation of the keratin filamentous meshwork in the keratinocyte
The C-terminal tail of AHF/trichohyalin is essential for organizing keratin filaments in keratinocytes.
